Verse 197

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १९७ ॥

In plain words

'Vidyā and avidyā' — the wise have taken that joint saying to speak of right action and upāsanā. Not of Self-knowledge and action. Not anywhere.

Close to the Sanskrit

'Vidyā and avidyā' — thus this joint statement has been made serviceable by the good with regard to right action and meditative worship, but not anywhere with regard to Self-knowledge and action.
